New Content

Hello clashers. I haven't posted in a while so i thought i should make a post updating you guys on what was going on. This blog was part of a school project and i am currently done with it. The next step is podcasting though. This means that instead of seeing regular posts from me, you will actually get to hear my voice and some of my friends as well. We will obviously be talking about clash of clans. This doesn't mean that the blog will end and never be updated again, it will simply be updated less frequently. I will try my best to update each time an update comes out, but for the meantime get ready for some weekly podcasts!

Breaking News Level 8 Wizard Tower

As we have seen, the new update brings a lot of new content to clash of clans. We have the level 6 wizard, the new results screen, the 3 new challenges, and a league reward increase. Hidden under the clouds though, is a level 8 wizard tower. In the picture where they showed us the increase in league bonuses we can barely see a level 8 wizard tower. We also see a level 10 town hall which means it will probably only be available for town hall 10's. This is kind of a disappointment as i have a long way to go before i can reach town hall 10. Here I will show the picture with the wizard tower in the background.

New Witches!

Recently, on the latest update, the new dark troop came out. This troop is called the witch! This new troop is becoming the major attack strategies for all the top level players. This troop can do both long range and melee attack. She summons her skeleton minions who go on the front line and fight for her. When her skeletons are busy she does a range attack that can also do massive damage. The only downside is that an all witch raid is pretty expensive. If you change the in-game currency to $ then an attack with all witches is around $5 each. I am really pumped and can't wait till i unlock them.

Interview With Sebastian Meneses

Today I did a short interview with a clash of clans player. His name is Sebastian Meneses and he is currently in town hall 8. He has mixed feelings for the game and is very experienced. To find out what he said, read bellow.
1Q: How long have you been playing clash of clans for?
1A: Since March 2013

2A: 2 hours a day.
3Q: What is your favorite unit in the game?
3A: Wizards lvl. 5
4Q: What do you think of the game?
4A: It is a pretty addicting game, but it is also a money hoarding game. It is the type of game that you play when you are bored.
5Q: Have you ever bought gems? If so, how many?
5A: I have bought gems. I have bought 5000 gems.
6Q: What was your best raid ever?

7A: I was previously in a clan called feeder in which I was the leader. I left that clan due to troop issues as I didnt get the troops I needed. Then i moved over to a clan called GB United in which I am very happy in and I am a clan elder.
8Q: What has been your favorite clash of clans moment?
8A: My favorite clash moment was beating the achievement Gold Grab and Elixir Escapade.

10A: I would cut the training time for all troops by half.

Top 10 Units in Clash of Clans

Ok, so many of you have been asking me for my top 10 units. Finally I have had the time to create such a list and share it with all you guys. So without further ado, lets get on with the units!
10. Goblin - Although they take most of the resources, they are very weak and when piled in a group can be easy targets for mortars and wizard towers.
9. Wizard - Although they are very powerful, they are the unit with most time per unit. What this means is that they take the longest and yield the least troops. They take 10 minutes to make and only yield 4 units. A full army of wizards takes a long time and can't be very effective.
8. Healer- They do heal your units, but are very vulnerable to archer towers and air defenses. They are very weak and are only really effective with giants. Their dependence on other units is the reason for it being 8 on my top 10 units list.
7. Pekka- These are honestly the stupidest units in the game. The only reason that they don't go on the 10 spot is because of their obvious strength and health. They are the last unit you unlock in game and are "supposed" to be the best although they are really bad. They will often run off to the side of bases and start destroying outside buildings instead of going inside like they should.
6. Wall Breaker- They are very useful at what they do. This is, obviously, breaking walls. Aside from this, they are not good at anything else. They die really easily and wont attack any other building besides walls unless there are no walls in the village which is highly unlikely.
5. Balloon- These can be powerful units, but are very slow. They only work good in groups and have a relatively low health. They take a long time to make and at low levels are extremely weak. The reason for it being on the fith spot is that I really like to use them and they go well with rage spells.
4. Barbarian- The reason for this unit being in my top 4 is that it is highly underrated. These guys can take hits and pack a punch! They might be the first unit you unlock in the game but at levels like 5 or 6 can be your main unit of attack. They are also very cheap and their training time is very low.
3. Giants- These units are well placed at the top 3. They can soak up hits and are highly value for their preferred targets which are defenses. Although they are very slow, they have a very high amount of health and work great with any type of unit.
2. Dragons- We are getting close to the best unit in the game in my opinion! The dragon. With its high amount of health and increased speed, it can demolish bases. An all out dragon attack will most likely 3 star a base. The times when it wont is the times when the player using them doesn't know how to use them. The reason for it not getting the top list in my unit list is because of its high cost and long training time.
1. Archers- I hope you guessed it by now! The archers. Highly underrated but very powerful. These units can demolish bases as well. They can 3 star bases and are stronger than most units in the game. They are by far my favorite unit and you will always find me using them.

Base Review

 Ok, this is my first time doing a base review so bare with me. This base is a really good town hall 8 base. I think that the only flaw would be your mine and pumps close to your town hall. They are going to attack your town hall so why give the enemy free loot? The triangular shape made with the mortars is really effective because they all shoot at the same time. Also I would never advise you to upgrade 3 things from the same side. You are very weak from the north. I would advise you to switch those buildings for some from the south. Another thing I would do is upgrade your air defense. If you could find a way to put them in the middle that would also be good. Thanks for sending in your base. I really like it.          

Drug Dealers Make The Best Players!!!

Tetwah, one of the top players of clash of clans, uses meth to stay up all night. That proves it guys! Do drugs! You can be the best! ABSOLUTELY NOT! NEVER DO DRUGS IT IS VERY BAD AND CAN RUIN YOUR LIFE! Getting this information from Kemal's blog, another top player in coc, I don't really know if it's true, but with the details given it is very credible. Kemal was in the same clan as tetwah as before. He said that they used apps like kik or wechat to stay in touch when not in clash. While chatting in those apps they would wake up and see him talking to himself for the whole night. He used to send them pictures of excel spreadsheets on how much money he would make monthly and pictures of him with bag of meth in front of him. Not only does he take meth, but he also makes little kids sell the drugs. The reason he does this is because he is afraid of the cops catching him and he says that kids have a shorter time in jail and don't actually go to real jail. This is absolutely absurd and should never be done, especially if you are using kids to do it. Tetwah will never be forgiven by the 44 family and is currently in Bonbee Canada. I have lost all my respect I had for Tetwah and have started to seriously think about some clash players.

Jorge Yao's Retirement

Jorge Yao was a legend to the clash of clans community. He was the top player on the leader board for 3 months straight and was the first ever to reach the 4230 trophy mark. He worked really hard and had to spend a lot of money. In a recent interview he stated that he spent almost $1000 each week in order to stay at the top place. That is on normal weeks. In an interview that was made to him on the week of the town hall 10 update he had said that he spent almost $3000 just that day. This left a really big dent on the wallet! He retired right before level 11 walls came out so people think that that was the reason of his retirement. No! In this interview he clearly states that he left just to get a break. He was too tied up in the game that he had almost no time to spend with family or his career. Most of you might not know but Jorge Yao got a career as a video game consultant from all his achievements in the clash of clans community. One important thing to note is that Jorge Yao is not leaving permanently, he will just not be as competitive as before. He will be a casual player like any other player. Jorge Yao will surely be missed in the Clash of Clans community, but his legend will stay for ever. Surely there will be people to smash all of his previous records, but remember Jorge Yao was the first. We will miss you Jorge!

Best Troop Composition and How to Raid!

Hello clashers! Today i'm bringing you the best army composition in my opinion! Keep in mind this is user submitted so it is not my personal army composition. The way this works is you drop your giants first to shield all your troops. After the giants you drop your barbarians followed by archers and minions. The goblins are not that important but your wall breakers are so try and drop them a few at a time to make sure your troops get through those pesky walls. After you drop all your troops you can go ahead and drop your heroes to help out. The healer just helps keep your heroes up so you can use them in your next raid and don't have to wait for them to get up. Overall, I really like this army composition and have seen a lot of replays of it being used and being successful all the time.

Welcome!

Welcome fellow clashers! In this blog i will try my very best to teach you my skills in clash of clans. Keep in mind that I am only town hall 8 and anything beyond town hall 8 is unfamiliar to me. If you want to get to know me better you can try to join my clan called GB United as long as you have level 4 troops. Hope you have a great time.

My Favorite Troop

My Favorite Troop!
Ok, many of you are interested in knowing what my favorite troop is. Although dragons can be very powerful, archers are better. If you know how to deploy them and use them effectivly, they will be your best choice. They are also pretty cheap and great for farming.
